قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا۟ لَهُۥ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَبْصِرْ بِهِۦ وَأَسْمِعْ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِى حُكْمِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا
Say, "Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
Questions from the rabbis: the People of the Cave
9–26According to Ibn Ishaq, the Quraysh sent an-Nadr ibn al-Harith and Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt to the Jewish scholars of Yathrib (Medina) to test the Prophet. The scholars said: "Ask him about the young men of old who took refuge in a cave, about the traveller who reached the east and the west of the earth (Dhul-Qarnayn), and about the spirit; if he knows these, he is a prophet." In response to these questions the relevant sections of Surah al-Kahf were revealed; verses 9-26 relate the story of the young men of the cave.
